Capturing beautiful memories

Carly Hack is a wedding and family photographer based in the Adelaide area. Based in Brighton, South Australia, Carly is available for photo shoots all over South Australia, New Zealand and overseas. Specialising in joyful storytelling Carly finds the most pleasure in photographing weddings, couples, engagements and family sessions.

Families

Capturing families in the outdoors is always a relaxing experience and results in more candid and fun images. Children can come and go within the scene and I've found it to be a much less stressful experience for parents as they can enjoy the shoot without worrying about the kids running amok in a small studio space. I work quickly and try to do all family shoots in less than 45 minutes as most children are done within that time frame. I work to a plan and find as we go along, the kids relax more and usually the best shots are at the end!

Family shoots start at $120 for a group of 5 and products start at $350. I will consult with you to find a location that suits your unique style and tastes. Each session is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.

WEDDINGS

Weddings are one of my favourite events to capture. Every one is different and I have been so fortunate over the past 13 years to have captured truly wonderful couples and their families.

Working for people who not only appreciate my role and work, but are genuinely gorgeous people who love life and family.

I believe it's important to have strong communication between me and my couples so we are all on the same page with working out how they see their day unfolding and what their priorities are. I also believe my clients must be super comfortable with me as we work together for a good chunk of the day and in order for it to be fun & relaxing it's important you feel you like me! : D

I have found over the many, many weddings that I am able to capture a full day within 6 hours or less (depending on what you have planned). Generally after 6 hours the couple just want to relax and get on with the night. During the day, I work to a plan (for the most part) and with pre-discussion, we have a good idea of priority locations so the photo shoot doesn't drag on and on, yet all of my clients are provided with a wonderful range of images that capture their day beautifully. Of course, more hours can be added if you like to capture additional parts of the day.

All wedding collections come with a gorgeous photo book and USB of high res jpeg images and prices begin at $2,400. Chat to Carly about your wedding day and for viewing a wide range of her photo books.

Couples/ Engagement/Anniversary

Whether it's your engagemement , celebrating an anniversary or just the two of you for the fun of it - we create lots of special moments. Engagement/Couple photo sessions last for 45-60 minutes. Engagement/Couple collections start from $430 and include an 8x8" Guest Best Wishes-Messages Book + 20 digital images to keep.

I also capture proposals. The rate is $430 and includes the special moment plus a 15-30 minute mini session afterwards with 5 x 5" photo book to relive the fun day! I work with you on all the top secret details!

Blossom Studio

Blossom Studio is a simply gorgeous location for your photo session -whether it's with your family, your loved one or just the children, it's worth it. As one of my favourite places to shoot, it is a unique location that you will treasure the photos forever.

It is my vision to capture your family in a beautiful, relaxed way making the most of this wonderful location.

Blossom Studio is only run once a year - capturing families during the very short time it is around. Traditionally it appears around the end of July or early August - depending on the winter season and then of course the weather once it is here (the wind can simply blow it away!).

Bookings are taken any time from the start of the year and when the blossom begins to appear photo sessions are allocated to those who have registered (last minute bookings are available too). Gift vouchers are also available.

Baby Bump/Maternity Photo Sessions

Capturing your baby bump is such a fun photo shoot! The last time you will be as just a couple (or with one less child!). I love the sweetness between couples in this time when the world is a completely rosie place!

Again, photographing outdoors provides the best backdrop and I work with my clients to decide on the best time of day for the most beautiful light. Anytime of the year is good, especially in Adelaide with a lot of sunny days here.

Photo shoots start at $120 and a double photo shoot with gorgeous keepsake photos and photo books can be included as a double collection.
